QoS mapping between IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.16e-2005 classes.
| IEEE 802.16e-2005 parameter | IEEE 802.11e parameter | Description |
| Maximum Sustained Traffic Rate | Peak Data Rate | The peak information rate in bit per second | Maximum Latency | Delay Bound | The latency period starting at the arrival of a packet at the MAC till its successful transmission to the destination | Minimum reserved Traffic rate | Minimum Data Rate | The minimum data rate required by the traffic flow | Maximum Traffic Burst | Burst Size | The maximum continuous burst the system should accommodate for the traffic flow | SDU size | Nominal MSDU size | Number of bytes in a fixed size packet | Unsolicited Polling Interval | (a) | The maximum nominal interval between successive polling grant opportunities for the traffic flow | Unsolicited Grant Interval | (a) | The nominal interval between successive grant opportunities for the traffic flow | Traffic Priority | User Priority (b) | The priority among two IEEE 802.16e-2005 service flows identical in all QoS parameters. | Tolerated Jitter | (c) | The maximum delay variation (jitter) (in milliseconds) |
